Waverley Community Living Program

Community Living Program

Established by Council in 1985, Waverley Community Living Program (WCLP) provides services to support adults with an intellectual disability to live fulfilling and independent lives.

WCLP works with each participant and the important people in their lives to understand their unique abilities, skills, life experiences and goals. Services and support are tailored to the needs and choices of each individual, and include:

  • Skills development and training for individuals or groups – working with people to harness their strengths, build confidence and develop skills across a range of topics including computer skills, holiday planning, budgeting, time management and developing creative skills in photography and arts and craft.
  • Independent living skills for leading a healthy lifestyle and staying socially connected – helping people develop skills and learn about budgets, cooking, domestic tasks, self-care, personal growth and developing and maintaining friendships and relationships.
  • Accommodation places and managing a tenancy and home – supporting participants to transition into independent living and connecting participants to a local peer support network where they can share their experiences and get support. Council has nine accommodation places.
  • Social and recreational activities for everyone – supporting participants to connect with others and to attend cafes, shows, art galleries, sports, cultural events and more.
